A) No Profit No loss.

D) Profit of $ 100
E) Loss of $ 100


Explanation:
S.P of 1st Article: 1200
Profit is 20%
Let, C.P=X
1.2X=1200
X=1000
S.P of 2nd Article:1200
Loss is 20%
C.P= 0.8X=1200
X=1200/0.8=1500
Total C.P= 1500+1000 = 2500
Total S.P=1200+1200 = 2400
Total Loss= 2500-2400=100$

When two articles are sold at the same selling price, there will be a loss of \(x^2/100 % = (20)^2/100 % = 4%\)
